I am so excited that Sunday is the first day of spring! It just so happens to also be my husband’s birthday so it’s a special day for two reasons. This past winter, we had one of the worst blizzards in the history of New York City. As we were buried in snow, all I could think about was cruising around in the warm weather and enjoying feeling the sun on my face. Back then, it seemed like sunshine was a distant memory but now that we are headed into spring I am feeling hopeful about finally being able to enjoy some time outdoors.
Recently, I had the opportunity to spend some time driving the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport and I realized that it is the perfect car for enjoying during the spring and summer. Not that it isn’t an awesome vehicle to enjoy all year long, but when you are driving a car that boasts an amazing panoramic sunroof, you want to be able to look up through it and see nothing but blue skies. For those of you who are night owls, it also floods the entire cabin with the moon’s rays at night allowing your passengers sitting in the backseat to enjoy the view.
As a person of shorter stature, or what I like to refer to as “fun sized,” I really appreciated that the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport allowed me to elevate the driver’s seat to a comfortable position where I was able to see clearly all around me. This is a welcome adjustment compared to other hatchbacks or SUV’s that often make it difficult for me to be able to safely and comfortably adjust my driving position. My husband liked the tilt-telescopic steering wheel because he is really tall and likes being able to sit in the driver’s seat without having his knees hitting the steering wheel.
Let me tell you about the interior of the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport! If you are looking for a sleek and elegant dashboard and design, this car has what it takes. I loved the dark leather seats and how soft and inviting they were to sit in. Additionally, I was extremely impressed with the rear cargo room and how much leg room there was in the backseat. We have two growing boys, ages 12 and 10 who play basketball, so we have to take space into consideration when we are buying any vehicle.
The Outlander Sport comes with standard stability control, anti-lock brakes and seven airbags including front, front-side, driver-knee and full-length side-curtain. In government crash tests, it received four stars out of five overall. For families like ours, knowing that our most precious members are protected while driving around in the Outlander Sport is an added bonus to all of its other features.
Make sure you visit Mitsubishi to explore all of the exciting features of the Outlander Sport as well as their cars, crossover SUVs and electric cars. This spring, chase your next big adventure and make your drive a sport!

What a great looking vehicle and the seats look really comfortable! I love the size and it looks easy to park!
Now that looks like an awesome looking car, I would most definitely love to upgrade my car at some point.
We are looking to replace our old Highlander so this post is perfect timing. We made a list of SUV’s to test drive and I didn’t have the Outlander on my list but now I do!
I’m really not prepared for spring to be here yet, but a panoramic sunroof might get me into the spirit of things!
How nice that you get to test cars. I’d love to do that.
I never thought about using the sunroof at night, but that would be awesome for the kids. Great car for trips!
It looks like it’s a nicely sized vehicle with plenty of room for family or friends. We love a good SUV in our family, it’s the only way to get around here!
That’s a nice looking car. Something I will definitely consider as a family car.
Looks like a great car. Yes, I think it would definitely make family memories this spring!
This looks like a great car for exploring in. Love all the extras the car has, we spend a lot of time in ours with road trips!
Oh my goodness, that car has my name on it 🙂 I really like all terrain sports cars like these, looks like a great ride.
This looks like a great car. We are in the works of finding a new car. This looks like a great family car.
I would LOVE that sunroof! Wow! I was happy my car has a sunroof, but that one is HUGE!
That’s a nice SUV! Looks like a great family vehicle. Love that you called yourself “fun sized.” My MIL is afun sized Latina too, I’ll have to call her that next time I see her. She likes to be the life of the party 🙂
I love the look and the sunroof. My husband and I always get frustrated when it’s difficult to adjust the seat. Love this.
I really love the look of the vehicle. It isn’t too bad and not too small!
I am hopeful about spring too! I am so sick of the cold weather and that looks like an awesome car!
Looks awesome! When I look for a new car I’ll def consider this!
Ooooo this suv looks pretty fabulous!!!! We are getting a new car this year so I will have to keep this in one in mind!
Such a nice car! I love the sleek back exterior – a great size to!!
What a great vehicle for a family. I’m also short so the elevated driver’s seat is a plus for me.
Now that is a good looking vehicle. I really prefer SUVs and this has a sleek design and I especially like the color. I also like the look of the radio.
The sunroofs make the kids happy for sure. I have only had one in a rental car, but it was fun.
Seems like you had an awesome time with the new car! I love that it has the bluetooth audio, that’s so handy
